Description

Hey, I'm Lea, 26 years old, crazy for nature and animals, friends and family.

I grew up on the countryside near Cologne but moved to Munich a few years ago to study Social Works. After finishing my studies in July 2021 I went on a two month holiday on La Gomera. Thats where I felt the desire to see and experience much more of this world. Also I realised once again, that I'm not a city but a true nature person. This was my first longer holiday experience but I traveled to Norway and Croatia with a youthgroup and also to Denmark, Sweden and Italy with friends before. I'm absolutely into camping, so I'm used to simplicity in my holidays.

In 2021 I worked for a Horse riding Hotel in Andalusia where I mostly took care of feeding, poo picking, riding and also gave first riding lessons to children. January 2024 I spent in the south of Sweden helping on a small farm. I took care of the horses, sheep, chicken, cats and rabbits but also cooked for the family and did some cleaning tasks in the house.

I love to create and build things, I get super into projects, whether it's about building new things or reparing old.

So what makes me happy is:
- spending time in nature (with heart-people)
- working with animals (especially horses)
- seeing how I'm able to create and build new things
- meeting new people and experience their way of living

More details about your skills

*Farmwork, Painting, Woodwork*
Growing up on a small farm I started to help my uncle very early, eventhough this wasn't required at all. I loved to help around the cows, cleaning the stable, helping to repair fences or feeding the cows in winter. In summer I also helped with heymaking. But what I loved most was everything around the two ponies of which I even took care occasionally.
Besides helping on the farm I also gained some experience in working with wood, painting and wallpapering, as my parents always had some projects in and around the house.

*Tutoring, Education, Carework*
After I finished my Abitur (German A-Levels) I moved to Munich where I studied Social Works in a dual system, meaning I always worked one week and studied the next. I worked in a family center that offers advice and support for parents in all situations. Here I learned how to interact with many different people, kids, parents and elder people. I also worked with kids between 6 and 13, tutoring and helping with homework.
Besides I started babysitting in my neighborhood around the age of 13. In July 2021 I got my bachelor's degree in Social Works. At the moment I work in a social-educational day care for schoolchildren. Here I work mostly with neurodivergent kids who are on the autism spectrum and/or have ADHD.
